Will rank matchmaking ever improve?

Sadly i can not write my thoughts. For i would be banned permanently. I am tired and fed up with the matchmaking system. I do not even understand HOW it in any way works. This elo, MMR, Division tiers, none of it makes sense. I win 18 games in a row, get to gold 5, and BAM the trolls come from no where, all at once, afks, "top only or feed", (first blood)"gg i quit", "jungler wont gank so afk", mid dies 15 times withing 10 minutes (how is this even possible?)... I mean really. Im silver 4 now. My last game, and the 10 before that, Most gold = me, least deaths = me, only one who knows how to focus = me, who cries all game = them, who tries to be a leader? = me, who quits and afks = them. But GUESS WHAT. Who is on a 10 loss streak? = ME. WHO is affected by four people on his team who are obviously 3 tiers lower skill? = ME. WHO cannot win a game because RIOT feels the need that i need someone on my team with the summoner name "Only Mid Or Feed" = ME. How is it fair, in anyway, that FOUR STRANGERS can effect YOUR RANK, YOUR ELO, YOUR MMR, MORE than YOURSELF????? Please. I need a LEGIT feedback. PLEASE no, we are doing the best we can comments. Riot says they are for the players. Then give me an honest answer. I love League, but its beyond unfair. There SHOULD be a lower division than bronze. There should be MORE bans, and permanent bans, for these players that take RANK queues a joke. You are here to be RANKED, to improve and strive to become BETTER. Pushing yourself to become better than the average. Not, "GG I GOT KILLED SO GG, ITS GG GUYS, GG NOONE IS HELPING GG." There should be a test of some sort, a pre-placement match set, where you have to PROVE you are good enough for ranked. The "average" player should not be allowed to simply queue once he hits lvl 30 and ruin everything for so many people. Honestly there shouldnt be a bronze 5. Or even a Silver 1. To many people take for granted what the privilege it is to be allowed to be acknowledged in this system. I dont understand anymore. Its been to the point that even I, who is so calm and free, has been torn apart by this "system".

To be honest, it doesn't seem like you're calm if this is a big problem for you. It's probably just really, really, bad luck.

I'll be honest there are probably plenty of people who boosted illegally or more legal gaming the system with duoq abuse who then play ranked solo and do poorly because they can't carry their weight to fall back to where they belong.

But you have to remember as long as you're playing your best, and don't troll/afk/etc yourself there is a 55% chance they'll be on the enemy team, not yours, and only 45% chance of them being on your side, even less if you duoq. You can't just blame match making (which you're making complaining about Elo hell without saying.). I'd suggest you watch sky's video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ4vPCY11eM

Lastly if you want to actually get somewhere in ranked, it is important to realize and be aware of when you're going on tilt, and when you realize that you need to stop yourself from going right back into ranked in that mindset there is no way you'll be playing at 100%, take a break, go eat something, take a shower, play bots, normals, or ARAM, or anything that is **not **ranked until you can calm down and stop yourself from going into ranked with a negative/frustrated mindset.
